Possible Cause of Death for Irishwoman and Husband Found Dead in Spanish Villa
Postmortem reports say the couple suffered fatal cardiac arrests after becoming trapped by the jacuzzi’s suction, with electrocution also considered.
- On Tuesday, two teenage children discovered their parents, Thomasina Tobin and Patrick Tobin, deceased in a hot tub at their holiday villa in Cullera, Spain, after the bodies lay undiscovered for more than 12 hours.
- Originally from County Monaghan, Ireland, Thomasina Tobin and her husband, Patrick Tobin, from New Zealand, lived in London with their two teenage children before vacationing at the Cap Blanc residential estate.
- Postmortem reports indicate both victims suffered cardiac arrest from acute stress following physical exhaustion. Las Provincias reported the couple may have struggled against strong suction from the hot tub's hydro-massage system.
- Guardia Civil investigators returned to the villa on Saturday with an industrial hot tub expert to examine the jacuzzi's suction fittings and determine if a technical defect trapped the couple.
- The Department of Foreign Affairs is providing consular assistance to the family, while investigators have ruled out third-party violence and are focusing on the theory that the deaths resulted from a freak accident.
